Awe the turtle is too cute. I understand the "not wanting a turtle". We went through it at our house too. I finally caved and it has been no big deal at all. We have a very small turtle in a little fish bowl. Feed it once a day, clean the bowl every other week. It is super easy. Easier than a fish really. Cleaning the bowl doesn't even take five minutes. I just dump it out and add new. The key is not feeding it too often. Turtles will beg for food when they see someone looking in their bowl, but they don't really need to eat. Over feeding just makes you have to clean the bowl more often. Also, just have to make sure the kids wash their hands every time they touch it.

I'll post a little picture on my blog.

Still praying for you.....

Love the 70s outfits - I have to go to an Abba evening at school sooon....am now thinking that maybe a wig is the way to go....hmmmmmm.....

Savannah looks so beautiful as do all her friends - love the blue of her dress.

Your home is absolutely beautiful! I just started buying Meyers cleaning products BECAUSE I saw them at Walmart! Yeah for Wal-mart having everything I need! And as for that BEAUTIFUL sweater, the grey one, I'm swinging by TJ MAXX to see if they have any of those here in Austin! I must have that sweater, it's adorable! You look FABULOUS!
